9 
inch long by 1 inch broad, in shape broadly ovate, rounded at the base. 
Stipules narrow, the auricles acute, erecto-patent, gland-ciliated. 
Flowers 2-4 in a cluster, the peduncles 2-3 inches long, thinly setoso- 
glandular, the bracts ovate-lanceolate, naked on the back. Calyx-tube 
gracefully ovate-urceolate, naked, glaucous. Sepals about \ inch long, 
some simple, the others with 1-2 small, linear, erecto-patent, gland- 
ciliated pinnae on each side. Petals pure white. Column of styles 
•§• inch long, hairless. This has been found in Sussex and Cambridge- 
shire, and is about midway between R. arvensis and typical R. sys- 
tyla. 
Rom systyla, Woods. Mr. Bromwich sends, from Warwick, spe- 
cimens of this species which differ from the type in their white 
flowers and densely setose stems and peduncles. 
Epilobium tetragonum , L. From Plymouth. Collected by Mr. 
Briggs. Additional to the Devon list of the ‘ Cybele.’ 
Epilobium Lamyi, F. Schultz. Mr. Baker distributes specimens of 
this plant grown from seeds from Dr. Wirtgen’s Fasciculus. These 
specimens do not seem to differ in any material respect from E. tetra- 
gonum ; the leaves, however, are not so perfectly strap -shaped, being- 
broader at the base. There is no approach to E. palustre, between 
which and E. tetragonum . , E. Lamyi has been said to be a hybrid, 
Sedan purpureum, Tauseh. Miss Gifford sends specimens gathered 
at Lynton, North Devon. 
Galium erectum, Huds. Collected at Leek Wooton, Warwick, by 
Mr. Bromwich. New to the mid-Severn sub-province. 
Apargia Taraxaci , Sm. Mr. Syme contributes a large plant, more 
than a foot high, and with a branched many-flowered stem, with which 
he writes “ Leontodon autumnalis, var. pratensis. Cultivated from Brae- 
mar; originally a one-headed plant, 3 inches high, with black woolly 
heads.” 
Carduus nutanti-crispus. Mr. Baker gathered this on the North- 
umbrian flank of the Cheviots, near Wooller, growing with the ordi- 
nary forms of C. nutans and C. crispus, a single plant of an interme- 
diate form much nearer the former than the latter. The stem was about 
3 feet high, the leaves similar to those of C. nutans, but the spines 
rather feebler, the heads 3-5 in a cluster, mostly on distinct stalks but 
casually two close together, two-thirds the size of those of ordinary C. 
nutans , and the outer phyllaries not more than half as broad, and hardly
